Belgian Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie composition soldiers

After obtaining its independence in 1830, the new Belgian state created its own national Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie on the basis of the already existing constabulary.From its creation, the Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie was formally part of the Belgian Army. During the Second World War, the Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie was restricted to the role of administrative and legal police force, primarily concerned with road traffic.
